I can't say as I read as much as I should or would like to, not enough hours in the day now.

Although I've read Tolkiens works many times and loved them I'm not really a fantasy buff.

I read mainly autobiography's, the last three I've read were all gifts, all deal with figures from the London Underworld and were great reading.

Lenny McLean - The Guvnor.
Dave Courtney - Stop the Ride I want to Get off.

I highly recommend the two above.

Mad Frankie Fraziers book whose title unfortunately escapes me atm. Hard going but not a bad read.

Prior to these, and a good few years ago now, I read Winston Churchills book (3 vols) A history of the English Speaking peoples. Absolutely fantastic read if you like history (as I do). Starts from the year dot and concerns many countries.

I've read a lot of Stephen Kings works and those of another famous author in the same vein whose name once again escapes me...wrote the rats and the lair etc. (Sorry, it's been a bloody long weekend, not long home and I'm knackered).

I don't know what it is but for some strange reason I just can't read fiction anymore, maybe I just haven't found the right books.

Good thread btw Ladyzekke.
